Thought of the Day !!

God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to
save the world through him.

John 3:17 (NLT)

In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us that he didn't come into
this world to condemn it, but instead to save it. He wasn't a
finger-pointing, judgmental kind of person. He didn't come to strictly
enforce the Law. But instead, according to Scripture, he came to fulfill
it.

In John 1:17 we see that "The law was given through Moses,
but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ."
Through this love and faithfulness comes forgiveness. And Jesus was
not one to judge, but one to forgive. He was not one to speak harmful
words to us sinners, but one to speak words of love. He was not one to
point fingers (except to those authorities that were misrepresenting his
Father's law), but one to embrace those who were unembraceable to others.
There will come a time for all to sit in front of the Judgment Seat. But
Jesus' example when he came to this world was the one for us to follow.

Much too often in today's world, we Christians forget these
facts about Jesus. And forget that we're supposed to be like Jesus in
these areas.

Let us each have a day of love and forgiveness instead of one of
grudges and finger pointing.
